Sweet! Thanks. I think the thing looks pretty nice. Kinda breaks up the lines though huh? Hmmm...

Here's how it looks in the down position. I like it. It's something different without being outrageous.

I really like the look,almost like the 03'+ 986 rear spoiler when it's raised. It kinda look funny when it's in the down position though,it's not very flush,looks like it isn't fully lowered or something with the gaps.

Grizzly,can you take some pics of your spoiler in the down position? It looks really good from that pic that you just posted.

Grizzly,

Is yours the same as the one posted on eBay? If so, was it difficult to install? Also how was the paint job they did? Close match? Looks great.

You may want to exercise some caution on where you purchase the spoiler:

I'd be careful about replacing the spoiler with something that doesn't block as much air as the solid one you have now. After all, the factory spoiler is engineered in such a way as to keep the back end on the ground at high speeds and with something flimsy on there as pictured, you may find yourself losing control of your car at very high speeds... which is the worst time to be losing control.

Safety first. Aesthetics second I say.
